Investors Shift Focus from U.S. Amid Rising Concerns, Says Euronext CEO

On January 30, Euronext CEO Stephane Boujnah highlighted growing investor concerns about the United States, prompting a shift in capital allocation to other regions. According to Jin10, Boujnah pointed out that the decision-making process in the U.S. is perceived as highly volatile, with significant uncertainties surrounding tariffs, inflation, and the fairness of business relations. This perception has led investors to view the U.S. as a challenging environment. Boujnah's observations are echoed by other executives in the European financial services sector, who note an increasing trend of investors seeking alternative investment destinations. Despite these concerns, most agree that the U.S. remains an essential component of any global investment portfolio. In the interview, Boujnah also expressed optimism about the year's prospects, anticipating several initial public offerings (IPOs) from European defense and aerospace companies.
